245: A conspiracy in the underworld, a huge mystery.

Su Hua sneered coldly: "You have committed many evils yourself, capturing Cultivators in secret within Fengyu City to Cultivate. Today's outcome is entirely your own doing."

"Killing you will only increase my Karma."

"As for becoming a ghost... hahahaha, your cultivation base has been crippled, and your Divine Soul is about to dissipate. I doubt you even have the qualifications to become a ghost Cultivator."

These words completely broke Zhao Tai's defenses. He roared hoarsely, his bloodshot eyes making him look like a malicious ghost.

However, Su Hua was completely unafraid, his face full of disdain.

But soon, Su Hua lost interest in him.

Zhao Tai was merely a minor character. Whether it was his Aptitude or his cultivation base, he was too weak. Such a person could not pose the slightest threat to him, nor did he even qualify to be a stumbling block.

The matter concluded.

Not long after, everything that happened in Fengyu City spread like a plague, instantly exploding throughout the entire Xuntian Sect and rapidly spreading to surrounding forces.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal expert had come to the Xuntian Sect!

And he had killed the Soul-Devouring Venerable.

Almost no one knew the background of this Grand Unity Golden Immortal; it was only unearthed that he was the Family Head of Su Hua.

Many people followed this trail and quickly discovered a Family in Fengyu City.

The Su Family!

This Family had almost no fame. Before the killing of the Soul-Devouring Venerable, almost no one had heard of this Family.

It wasn't until someone investigated carefully that they discovered this Su Family had only been established recently; even the mansion had just been rented.

Currently, the entire Su Family seemed to consist of only two people.

One was the Head of the Su Family who had killed the Soul-Devouring Venerable—no one knew his specific name—and besides him, there was only Su Hua.

No one knew the background of this Su Family either.

Only Su Hua was said to have Ascended to the Upper Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"Could this Su Family be some kind of hidden great clan?"

"To be able to kill the Soul-Devouring Venerable instantly, his strength must be at least that of a top-tier expert among Grand Unity Golden Immortals. This Su Family's background is truly significant."

"The Xuntian Sect is in an awkward position now. Having such a powerful person appear within the Sect's sphere of influence is very difficult to handle."

The fame of the Su Family immediately spread, beginning to propagate to the outside world.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal—such an expert was already considered a powerhouse in the Canglan Realm, so there was quite a lot of attention on this area of the Xuntian Sect.

Su Chen, however, did not concern himself with these matters. Instead, he began searching for members of the Su Family within the Canglan Realm.

In the hundreds of thousands of years in the Xuantian Realm, nearly a thousand members of the Su Family had Ascended, but in the entire Canglan Realm, there were only about a hundred Bloodline auras.

Two months passed.

Su Chen had already found most of the missing members of the Su Family; only a few remained who were further away, and he hadn't reached them yet.

However, he also sensed an extremely intense Bloodline aura at the very center of the Canglan Realm.

Who could it be?

"Greetings, Family Head!"

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

Within the Su Family, a group of people knelt before Su Chen, their expressions filled with excitement.

Among these people, most were from later timelines; only three or five were of a similar generation to Su Hua.

The others were either members of the Su Family's Collateral Branch, Juniors, or former servants of the Su Family.

During their Ascension, they had all suffered injuries to varying degrees, so their days in the Immortal Realm had not been easy these past few years. They had to be careful at all times to avoid being killed by treacherous people, living in constant fear.

But fortunately, these bitter days had finally come to an end.

Su Chen said to Ning Yan beside him: "Yan'er, I will have to trouble you to help me manage the Su Family for the time being."

Although he was lying flat, he was not slacking off.

The Su Family still needed to develop in the Immortal Realm, so someone had to be in charge. Ning Yan had been the Grand Elder of the Ning Family in the Xuantian Realm, so handling a few internal Family affairs was not difficult for her at all.

Ning Yan nodded gently. The crowd immediately reacted and quickly said respectfully to Ning Yan:

"We will definitely obey the Matriarch."

Su Chen scanned the circle, then turned and disappeared from where he stood.

He needed to make a trip to the center of the Canglan Realm.

Judging by the strength of the Bloodline, there was a very important member of the Su Family there.

Members of the Su Family had all encountered spatial turbulence during their Ascension; some had escaped, but others had certainly been accidentally swept into it.

Therefore, the most urgent task was to determine who had met with an accident.

However, Su Chen still did not understand why the Heavenly Netherworld would do that.

Of course, Su Chen could not guarantee that it was the work of the Heavenly Netherworld, but they were the only ones he could think of. All of this would have to wait until the matter was investigated.

But if it was the Heavenly Netherworld's doing, then there would be even more questions.

The Heavenly Netherworld ranked eighth among the thirty-six Realms and possessed immense power; they must have experts at the Immortal Emperor level, perhaps even more than one.

With Su Chen's current cultivation base, if he used some top-tier treasures, he could travel directly into the Lower Realm.

That meant experts at the Immortal Emperor level could enter and leave the Lower Realm at will.

Since the Heavenly Netherworld had designs on the Xuantian Realm, why didn't their experts take action personally, instead of sending that loser, the Evil Lord?

This was very abnormal.

Could it be that they were wary of something?

Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly. Was it because of that supreme god of the Dao?

But what Realm was Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerate in?

What role did he play in the entire Immortal Realm?

And why did Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerate give him the Small Immortal-Slaying Sword Array?

One question after another appeared in Su Chen's mind. Before him, it was as if he were shrouded in layers of mist, and he always had the feeling of falling into a conspiracy.

Taking a deep breath, his emotions gradually calmed down.

No matter what it was, he would know one day.

And that Heavenly Netherworld, if they were truly the ones preventing members of his Su Family from Ascending, then they were dead.

Thinking of this, an extremely cold aura was released from within Su Chen's body.

However, he quickly restrained it. The most urgent task was to find all the members of the Su Family first and wait for the System to continue signing in. As for other matters, he would naturally know in the future.

If he were truly trapped in a conspiracy, he would definitely kill everyone who dared to plot against him.

His current Physique was too terrifying; the cultivation base gained from signing in offered him too little improvement, so it would take a long time to accumulate.

Fortunately, the time span in the Immortal Realm was vast; a million years was no different from a thousand years passing for Cultivators in the Lower Realm.

Immortal Realm Cultivators sometimes went into seclusion for millions of years, and some powerful Cultivators would go into seclusion for an entire epoch.

That was a full hundred million years.

For Su Chen, it would only take another million years for his cultivation base to accumulate to an extremely terrifying level again.

For a Half-step Immortal Emperor, being able to Breakthrough again in a million years was already the speed of light.
